The Russian army plans to double the production of T-90 tanks in the near future, and its so-called latest generation tank T-14 has been shelved again, as reported by Russian media military commentary. According to it, the experience of the Ukrainian war clearly shows that in fierce wars, the cost of main battle tanks must be low, easy to operate and train, and at the same time have good protection, and the T-90 has almost all these advantages. If the Russian army can equip this tank with a new fire control system, install new engines and improve its armor in the near future, then this tank will serve as the main force in the Russian army for many years.

On the ground battlefield, in the direction of the Red Army City, according to Ukraine observer Mashowitz, after the Russian army launched a large-scale armored assault from Vladimirovka to Shahovo, the Russian army's offensive intensity has been significantly weakened, turning to consolidating the occupied defense lines and positions, and trying to improve the position of its forward troops in the tactical zone in certain areas. At the same time, the Russian army continues to send additional assault infantry and supplies to the Novo Shahovo line. It seems that in the near future, the Russian army will continue to launch major offensives here.

The Russian army is also gathering troops and equipment to the new economic village. Specifically, troops from the 5th and 9th Russian Motorized Infantry Brigades are gathering here. They will support the 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade in its attack on the north of Mirnorad. The Ukrainian side called it the "final offensive." In the battle the day before yesterday, the Russian army made a breakthrough in the northern suburbs of Mirnorad and came close to capturing Bonliman. At the same time, it consolidated its position east of Rodinsko. The Russian army advanced at least 300 meters in residential areas. This is the first time in several months that the Russian army has gained a firm foothold in Rodinsko. However, the Ukrainian army has begun to counterattack Rodinsko and Bonliman.

At the western frontier of the Red Army City, the Russian army completely seized Kotlin and began to advance along the woods in the direction of Grishino. Now, the Russian army's goal is already clear, that it is to advance from Kotlin and Roginsko to Grishino, respectively, to surround the Red Army City, and the battles in other directions are no longer important.

In the city area, according to the observer Yuri Podolyaca, the Russian army in the center of the city attacked and controlled the railway station in the city center, then advanced about 1.5 kilometers east along the railway line, which has actually arrived in the eastern suburbs of the city. At the same time, the Russian army advanced at least 1.5 kilometers along the Chekhalov Street to the direction of the railway station. This means that the Russian army, relying on the two waves of attack, divided the center of the city to the square. At the moment, the Ukrainian army is preparing for a counterattack, and if the Russian army can stop the Ukrainian attack, then the Red Army urban area is equivalent to being divided by the Russian army in two.

At the Zaporozhye Front, a video released by the Ukrainian army on October 12 showed that its 24th Adar Camp and the 33rd Assault Corps captured the village of Malesherbaki and raised the Ukrainian flag in front of the demolished buildings in the village. Ukrainian Colonel Valentin Mankó said the assault pushed about 3.5 kilometers and the front line reached a width of 5 kilometers, as well as launched an assault on the nearby village of Malesherbaki and recaptured part of the village of Stavov. At present, the counterattack continues.

This wave of Ukrainian counterattack was largely aimed at threatening the side wing of Kamenskoye, so that the Russians did not dare to continue the assault on the city of Steponogorsk. In fact, the Russian forces have been stagnant here for more than half a month, because the side wing of Kamenskoye is frequently attacked by Ukrainian forces.

In the direction of Sumy, the North Wind newspaper, which belongs to the Russian Army Group, once again spoke of the Russian army forces fighting here, which said that the Russian army may not be able to guard the village of Alexeevka due to the strong counterattack of the Ukrainian army. Though the Russian military command sent a camp of the 810th Marine Corps and a series of the 22nd Corps of the 72nd Marine Corps, the Russian command did not tell it was defending the 30th Corps of Alexeevka, which led to the group's friendship with the 810th Marine Corps that came to support. However, in yesterday's battle, the Russian army basically captured the village of Valanoki, as long as the Russian army remained here, can at least guarantee the security of Alexeevka'
